More than half of all U.S. gas stations are selling gas for less than $2/gallon today.

Americans saved about $14 billion on gas this year compared to 2013, based on monthly prices and consumption, according to AAA. U.S. households in 2014 saved an average of about $115 on gas compared to the previous year.

The majority of these savings came during the last few months of 2014. AAA says consumers saved an even larger $22 billion on gas compared to 2012.

AAA estimates the national average price of gas may remain less than $3 per gallon in 2015.

The average price in the Metro area is $2.22. Gas prices are nearing six-year lows, but savvy drivers are finding a way to pay prices not seen since 2004.

Thanks to gas rewards for one driver, 60 cents was shaved off it only cost her $25 to fill up — $1.57 per gallon.
